One time, she said, Castro jumped right on her stomach "with his feet and heavy body" in an effort to terminate her pregnancy.

Knight said she was starved and repeatedly punched in the stomach. She said Gina DeJesus, the third woman kidnapped and held captive in Castro's home, helped her get through the miscarriages and cope in times of pain.

She recalled a time when she was forced by Castro to eat a sandwich with mustard on it, which she is allergic to.

Knight said she doesn't understand why Amanda was allowed to have a baby and she wasn't.

"I was a girl that couldn't be broken, a girl that couldn't be underestimated," she told Dr. Phil. "When he found out he couldn't control me very much, he didn't want to give me a kid."

"I think he liked her more," Knight said of Berry. "Cause he had an obsession with blondes. He would always say, 'I don't want to make her cry, I don't want to make her upset or I don't want to hear her whiny mouth. He would try to make her happy instead of sad."

Knight said she felt like she was the most hated woman in the house and that Castro would frequently remind her that she didn't have a family that loved her and was looking for her.

"That's the reason why I hate you," Knight said Castro told her. "Because I can abuse you and nobody would care. No one."

"...And it would hurt because I knew my family didn't care and I knew my family wasn't there for me, cause they never was," Knight went on to say in the televised interview.

Police did show up at Castro's home once, according to Knight. But, she says, they left after no one answered the door.

Maureen Harper, a spokesperson for the Mayor of Cleveland, told Crimesider that police responded to Castro's home twice:once after police received a call from Castro reporting a fight in the street, and again in relation to an investigation regarding Castro and his duties as a bus driver. Police investigated the possibility that Castro had left a child unattended on a school bus and visited the house, but there was no response at the door.

A month into his sentence, Castro was found dead in his cell. His hanging death was ruled a suicide, but a prison report indicated he may have died accidentally while choking himself for a possible sexual thrill, according to the Associated Press.

"He took a cowards way out," Knight said of Castro's suicide.

She said she would have preferred he have spent the rest of his life in prison

"The pain he put us through is pain he didn't want to go through," she said.
